The numerous staff members we encountered, did an exceptional job at being courteous and attentive with a special mention to Lydia who did an excellent job in the lobby bar, always making sure that we had everything that we needed. The buffets and restaurant choices were delicious and varied. Having rented a car, we ventured off site, to explore the area, never feeling unsafe to do so. The resort offers transportation to and from the pool/beach area, and we never had to wait longer than 10 minutes. For those more impatient, the walk wasn’t that bad either. The property is well maintained, and the guest rooms had everything needed for a quiet, comfortable stay full of relaxation! Thank you Las Brisa’s. We can’t wait to return!
